- taken through the kitchen window ... - plan on more shots of this fellow ~ (c) PeggyC `13 - from Cornell Lab of Ornithology / All About Birds website - "The Purple Finch is the bird that Roger Tory Peterson famously described as a “sparrow dipped in raspberry juice.” For many of us, they’re irregular winter visitors to our feeders, although these chunky, big-beaked finches do breed in northern North America and the West Coast. Separating them from House Finches requires a careful look, but the reward is a delicately colored, cleaner version of that red finch. Look for them in forests, too, where you’re likely to hear their warbling song from the highest parts of the trees." THEY ARE BACK !
